Sharjah24 – AFP: Four wheel drives and motorbikes roar over the start line and into the Libyan desert as they begin competing in the latest edition of Al-Hamada rally, a welcome but rare taste of normality for a nation lashed by the shifting sands of conflict.
Drivers from Libya and Tunisia took to the wheel and handle-bars, including, for the first time in a Libyan rally, a female competitor.
Commenting on this, Khaled Drera, rally organiser stated, "The message is that I was able to bring together competitors from abroad, or from outside Libya, to come here and be able to attend. Our message to the world is that our country is moving towards stability and we're working on holding big events in the future."
